Patient's question:
I am 28 years old this year, and I have had a high fever for 2 days. Moreover, I am particularly afraid of cold. At first, I thought it was just a cold, but then I found that my testicles were getting more and more painful, and when I touched them, it felt like there was water inside. I went to the hospital for a check-up and was diagnosed with orchitis. Please ask: How is epididymal tuberculosis treated, and how long does it take to be effective?Doctor's answer:
If the diagnosis is epididymal tuberculosis, generally antitubercular treatment is required, lasting about 12 to 18 months, primarily through oral antitubercular medication. Combination therapy is necessary. It is best to obtain the antitubercular medication at half price from the Comprehensive Prevention and Control Research Institute for Tuberculosis. During the treatment process, liver and kidney function data need to be monitored. Even if paying for the treatment yourself, these medications are not expensive. The most important thing is to monitor the side effects of the medication and the treatment effectiveness, which is different from ordinary treatment.
